“At Vayner3, we’re taking a more expansive view of web3 as the next iteration of connected consumer behavior, enabling a more ownable, immersive, and personalized internet.”
Avery Akkineni is originally from Nashville, Tennessee, but she moved in 2012 to Northern California to pursue her dreams. Akkineni, located in San Francisco at the time, landed a job at Google during the peak of web2.
“I worked on different products within Google, and I then worked on YouTube and DoubleClick,” said Avery. “I worked across their suite of products in different roles for almost seven years.” Avery left her role at Google and joined VaynerMedia as a vice president of their media team. She then moved to Singapore with her husband in 2019 to build VaynerMedia Asia.
In July 2021, Avery launched the VaynerX consultancy, Vayner3, alongside serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk. In less than twelve months, Avery successfully led the expansion of the consultancy to 50+ global web3 experts in a remote-first environment. Vayner3 has successfully advised organizations on strategic web3 initiatives across cryptocurrency applications, NFT program development, and immersive digital experiences.

We’re in the very early innings of what this massive shift will unlock over the coming years.”
